The permanent solution to teeth replacement
Losing your teeth from Gum Disease, Decay or Injury is an upsetting experience. You will experience a loss of function and inability to chew and eat freely and also will experience the aesthetic and psychological impact of missing teeth. Now, in recent times, you have options other than dentures or bridges.
If you are considering Dental Implants then a Dental Implant Consult is your first step. Jaw Scans and 3d Planning allow our team to provide you with an Implant Report which explores your different options. You can be reassured our team will ensure you have teeth from the beginning with our early loading and immediate implant procedures.
International Congress of Oral Implantology
Dr Paul McKay is a member of the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry (ASID) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and has received his Diplomate Accreditation Status. ICOI is devoted to providing implant education to the entire dental team to better serve its patients. The ICOI is the world’s largest dental implant organisation.
An Innovative Option for Teeth Replacement
If you are not sure about what a Dental Implant can achieve then let us explain. Dental Implants are a permanent tooth replacement which looks and feels alike natural teeth. Chewing ability is restored and Dental Implants look and function just like a tooth. They have been used for many years to replace single teeth, multiple teeth and all teeth!
A Dental Implant is a Screw placed into the Jaw-bone. It is the replacement Root of the tooth. On a cellular level, Bone Cells will fuse to the Dental Implant surface a form a strong union. The Dental Implant forms a strong base for a Crown Restoration to be placed and restore the tooth to normal shape, colour and function just like your natural teeth.
Dental Implants enhance your Mouth!
Dental Implants allow you to speak, eat and smile normally. They are long-lasting, comfortable and will enhance your mouth and smile. Since they provide the jawbone with support, they will actually help to prevent further jaw-bone shrinking over time that missing teeth suffer. Dental Implants will eliminate the problems suffered with Dentures: loose, bulky, uncomfortable, catching food and the embarrassment of wearing dentures.
Convenient and Comfortable Appointments
We want your Dental Appointments to be convenient and comfortable. From the moment you make your first Appointment Reservation we expect to provide the very best dental experience.

Replacing Single Teeth with a Dental Implant
Advances in Dental Implant design have allowed for Immediate Tooth Replacement on most occasions. Most people will undergo a single visit for the removal and replacement of the tooth with a Dental Implant, leaving with a fixed-in tooth and therefore not have the inconvenience of a gap.
Replacing All Teeth with Dental Implants
Modern Dental Implant Treatment along with Modern High-Technology Zirconia Bridges have revolutionised the replacement of missing teeth. replacement of all teeth in a jaw can be performed with immediate teeth placed on the Dental Implants at the time of surgery. Zirconia Bridges give both a strong basis for chewing and function but give a highly aesthetic appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions – Dental Implants
How do Dental Implants Work
Dental Implants are a noble dental treatment for the replacement of teeth. They work by placing a fixture into the jawbone. Due to the unique surfaces characteristics, bone cells fuse onto the implant forming a strong union. The Dental Implant can then hold securely a crown, bridge or denture.
The Dental Implant is typically a well-engineered screw made of titanium. The secret to dental implants is the connection inside which allows other parts to be inserted and hold the crown of the tooth.
The Abutment is the connection that joins the dental implant to the crown.
The crown is the visual part of the tooth. It is carefully made using digital Cad-cam technology and hand finishing to recreate an aesthetically pleasing tooth that blends with the other teeth in the mouth.
Am I a candidate for a Dental Implant?
Dental Implants are indicated for the replacement of missing teeth or teeth which require extraction. There are few instances that a patient is not a candidate for an implant at any point in time. Patients not suitable for Dental Implants may have uncontrolled diabetes, be undergoing chemotherapy, be pregnant. Smoking increases risks for dental implant infections, but this is not a contraindication.
How much do Dental Implants Cost?
When undergoing Dental Implant Treatments you will make an investment in the health of your mouth. Should you be accepted as a patient at Brisbane Smiles then our Dentists will provide you with a personalised Cost Estimate. The initial Consultation Appointment is $100. Single Dental Implant Treatments are between $5,000 and $6,000 for all stages. Full jaw replacements are a larger investment with many different options which require full assessment prior to providing an estimate.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
